In competition for starting safety spot, veteran Kareem Jackson wants to show he still has gas left in tank

Kareem Jackson has made it clear he wants to be more than just a veteran presence in the Broncos’ locker room.

The 35-year-old safety has been productive during his four years with Denver, totaling 342 tackles in 61 games and a career-best 94 stops in 2022. Still, Jackson is entering his 14th season and understands that some in the league might view him as a player near the end of the road.

Third-year Caden Sterns, 23, is primed to start alongside safety Justin Simmons in the regular season, as he has taken most of the first-team reps during training camp.
